Going in soon to make an offer on a 2020 c8 can’t wait this car is a dream hopefully I can come home with it that day everything’s looking good so far, great vid man
@@safersephiroth943 yes sir I did I’ve had it about 3 months now to, 2020 C8 3LT Z51 w front lift and magnetic ride for 70k and got a separate warranty on top (90k all together), got it at 14k miles, at about 16500 miles, its literally been my daily driver
@00:38 Damn that hurt my soul. But we all have ti learn somewhere. Never use those brushes on a car yiur care about, it will scratch the paint amd make it look dull.
Good job on the video. Looking at it from a practical perspective, not just performance. I just picked up my used 2021 C8 HTC LT3 Z51 the other day, and I’m going through a steep learning curve. I had a 2019 Camaro 2SS that I really loved, but the lure of this beast was too much. I’m 6’4” so being able to fit is always my top priority. The C7’s were too small, but the C8 is just right. A couple things, I went with the HTC because of exactly what you showed, totally unusable rear trunk with the pop top in it. One thing I thought about is that it’s going to be tough to bring home anything bigger than a personal pan pizza unless it’s on the floor on the passenger side. I guess my passenger will just have grip it good whilst pulling G’s…
Nice ride bro. I have a 24 2LT on order. Should be here in a couple weeks. Trading my 23 ZL1 in for it. Nice to hear someone speaking positively about a base model C8 for a change.
Definitely went for the 2LT when I ordered my 2022 after doing the research. I love this car and I also get compliments and people pulling up next to me whipping out the phone to video....
Paragon has sideview mirrors that'll expand your vision slightly. Believe me they help, I have the rear camera, and with those mirrors I change lanes with confidence.
Great review! Smooth flow of the narration and good camera work. Did you put your high wing on yourself or did it come with it? I have one for my 2020 coupe but it looks like a “I’m gonna need some assistance” kinda job, like my buddy helping me Lift off the rear bumper. We also have a ‘23 HTC we love as well! Great video! You are correct about everyone trying to race you or maybe just see what she can do if she’s hammered. 😀
Appreciate the video. I plan on placing an order for a 24 since it only takes 4mos. I’m thinking about the 2LT d/t the blindspot but I rented a 1LT and it wasn’t bad as I thought the visibility would be. Is the 2LT worth the extra $7,100 in your opinion or would you recommend sticking with the base as a daily driver. This will also be my 1st sports car by the way…
Dope thats one hell of a first sports car!! I think it would depend on where you live, if you are in an area with a lot of steep lot entrances then the front bumper lifting may be beneficial also if its cold where you live and you like the luxury of a heated seat then it may be worth it. Otherwise its all stuff you can live without honestly
I’ve got a ‘24 base 1LT C8 and the rearview camera mirror that was only on the 2&3LT’s from ‘20-‘23 is now standard for ‘24. No need to upgrade to a 2LT if that was your main deciding factor. I’m now glad I was bumped from a ‘23 to a ‘24 because of that one feature alone! The ‘24 also now has a soft close frunk.
@@BandDirector appreciate the reply. So the 23 1LT didn’t have a rear camera or are you stating that the rear camera was better than the previous one on the 2023 compared to the 2024? My issue are the blind spots while driving a 1LT
awesome video my guy, just quick question, did you finance/lease/outright buyout your car and any recommendations? Also would you have waited for the newer model that's more expensive with more features or just settle for an older model which has an upgrade package?
Thanks! I financed. I would recommend financing (as long as you buy at the right price) they hold value well after their initial depreciation curve. Mines is bone stock but if I had the chance to do it over again. I probably would get a higher trim just for equity purposes. A newer model doesn’t have too many new features so an older one with lower miles is likely a good target. Just a suggestion of course since everyone’s situation is different.
Nice job on the video. Since your front radiators are not too banged up (Yet), it looks like you purchased the car new. How long did you have to wait from the time you placed your order?
Great presentation, you're a natural salesman. I'll bet you could sell these easy. Go to a local dealership and ask for a commission only job on weekends and talk to people just like you do in this video, just be yourself. I bet you would sell one or two Vettes a month. Nice commission on these cars I imagine.
They lying 😂 most who said that probably haven’t had the car. Who gets a V8 to complain about gas economy? People just like talking mess cause they can’t afford one.
even if you do you cant see anything lol. i have the HTC so i just sit pop my head out the top sometimes. theres only one turn i usually make where i do that
@@Qed1tz I have a 2019 Mustang GT and I want to get a two LT Corvette one day or I might get the C7 2019 black on black if I can find one. I just don’t wanna have any transmission problems.
I have a 2023 HTC 2LT I acquired in August 2023. Currently have 15k miles with no trans issues. Had the trans filter changed at 7k miles and 2 oil changes (7k & 14k miles).
@@poserwannabe1 Bought torch red & black top, natural dipped tan interior, HTConvertible 3LT Z51 package Stingray last Fall. Live in the snowy & salty roads Northeast. So, I keep C8 in the garage for Winter & added paint protection, all to preserve its condition & value longer. Plus, driving it occasionally makes the experience feel more special. I don't want the crazy attention every day. So, I drive a regular Nissan Altima daily or ride my motorcycle when weather is good.
@@poserwannabe1Plus, it reduces the number of incidences of people leaning against the car to take photos. That even happens while I'm park & in the car.🤦 Kinda looking forward to when this model becomes a more common sight.
There are several aftermarkets fixes you can go for to get around this design flaw. Just look at any corvette after a year of driving and their radiators look horrific from the damage (not to mention losing efficiency because of thermal fin damage).
you fuck up when you washed it at the car wash thats the number one rule the brushes are always dirty and will scrub your paint in the long run amateur move
I like how to talk about your vette, your not like a salesman but how someone would show their friend or neighbor.
Thanks! Glad it felt like that since that was the vibe I was going for!
That car is basically a reliable Ferrari.
Fr non car people always mistake it for a Ferrari, too.
180 subs and this vids audio, editing (not jumping every word) and flow was better than guys with 30k or 50k+ subs! keep it up man!
Thanks! Will do!! 🙏🏾
You using the handheld brush at the car wash hurt so much bro 🤧

Love my 23 C8 HTC Z51.Great video plus owning this car definitely keeps me connected emotionally to driving at 74 years old.
The HTC gets the rear camera.
That's a dope car man. I got my 18 Mustang GT, and I'm not a fan of the sound or transmission, so I might get a C8 in the future or a GT3.
Gorgeous color combo.

Fantastic review. Very informative. Thank you.
Great video. You hit nice points in chill way. I got 2020, base.
Super happy, something to grow from.
I've got a C6 corvette and love mine... All I can say about the 'Vettes are what they are sippin' aint cheap 😂
niceee, Iove that it has storage space in the boot and the trunk
I can’t wait I’m picking my one up tomorrow!!
Thats dope! Congrats!

Of course! Happens new year!

Lol congrats! Glad you are enjoying your vette! Definitely gotta have a passenger who is going to secure the items from flying around the cabin 😂
Theres a company called Quinten that makes covers for the engine vents for the C8. It'll keep water from entering the engine bay.
Dope! I will have to check that out, thank you!
Dude I just bought mine 2 weeks ago and I love it!!
Congratulations!! So much bang for the buck!
How much did you get it for and monthly payments ?
I keep asking the same question and no one will answer

@@Qed1tz haha ya, are u planning on making more videos on it? Would love to see more

Ayeee awesome to see fellow corvette lovers
This ma dream car and I wanna work towards getting a c8 too😤
Thanks bro! It’s not as hard to get as most people think! Keep grinding you’ll be in one before ya know it!
i heard brushing your car will mess up the paint badly. but yours looks wrapped, I plan to buy a c8 and wrap is hows the brush on wrap?
It’s actually paint, but I make sure to rinse the brush before using and also I think how much pressure you apply is a big factor as well
didnt know about the v4 setting, great video!
Thanks!
Great video brotha ! You earned my Sub fasho !
Thanks bro! Appreciate your support!
Thanks for the review from your king.
I just spent 4.89 for premium to fill my 2024 C8 3LT here in California. I love this car!
Good video, thanks.
Enjoy your C8!
Thanks! Will do!
I've been contemplating between copping either a shelby gt500 or a c8 or a Dark Horse, and I'm lowkey in a dilemma since I love all three 🙏🏿
Really appreciated it, especially trunk part 👍
Great overview man, you convinced me to get one
Thank you! Have fun!
Thank you! Have fun!
Nice editing man. This appears to be your breakout video.
Thank you! And its looking like it
Loved this vid 🔥
Thanks glad you did!
amazing editing
Thank you!
Great Video!
Thanks glad you enjoyed it!
Great Review
Thank you!
I love my c8, not sure for others but only problem I have is the turn signal seems a bit far from the wheel. Sometimes I have trouble controlling it.
Never thought about that, I have abnormally big hands so I don’t have too much trouble grabbing it but I can see how I would if that wasn’t the case.
Nice ride bro 🐨 hope you keep it for a long time
the car fits three 5-gallon water containers too. one in the frunk, two in the back.
Sick! Good to know!
They make block offs for the vents, just be sure to remove them before you start driving or you'll have an overheating problem
Thanks for that heads up! Appreciate it!
Good vid, I just ordered a 24 c8 lt2
Nice congrats!!
I would never go to a car wash and use a brush on my C8. Always hand wash your car.
I had my car since 2021 and I have 46K miles and it is not my daily driver, Plus I can not drive in winter time living in Chicagoland LOL, Have fun
Lol chicagoland 😂😂 thanks btw

Bag it brother
Yo bro! Sweet ride! What’s the wrap color you got? I assume its Satin black wrap?
Thanks! And its a paint actually! But yes satin black
i gotta fill up 2x a week. its not my daily so when i drive it im on it. 11-13mpg lol
🤣🤣🤣 so much fun driving like that
loved the video bro. Just curious, you have an LT1 correct? Are you able to remove the top of any c8 model? so essentially, all c8s are convertible?

Is the color jet black or something else? I know they have 2 different black colors on this car. Thank you!
This is a Custom color, chevy doesn’t make the c8 in satin black.
You paint the calipers yourself? Clean lambo green
It was actually like that when I bought it!
What year is this one?
Do you ever find it hard to shoulder check the right side?
even if you do you cant see anything lol. i have the HTC so i just sit pop my head out the top sometimes. theres only one turn i usually make where i do that
Yea it’s literally impossible lol you just have to constantly aware of cars that may be there
I thought the C8 is automatic convertible top off
There are Convertibles and then there are coupes. In the coupes you can still remove the top manually. Mines is a coupe
She wouldn't get any comments in Southern California because there's a shite ton of them

Oops my mistake then! Thanks for the correction
I notice all the damage you have on those front radiators from your shots. Such a bad grille design letting those rocks kick up into your radiators.
Lol How else would you design a grille that lets as much air in possible but not anything else?
There are several aftermarkets fixes you can go for to get around this design flaw. Just look at any corvette after a year of driving and their radiators look horrific from the damage (not to mention losing efficiency because of thermal fin damage).
Hmm okay I’ll look into this then! Thanks for your insight!
